Leonardo DiCaprio is making another movie about the environment, but this one is probably going to be way more action-packed than his climate change documentary Before the Flood that comes out this month!
The Hollywood Reporter says that DiCaprio's production company Appian Way is producing a Captain Planet movie.Â
Remember the theme song?!Â
Captain Planet was our 90s hero who vouched to "take pollution down to zero." The environmentalism-themed cartoon series followed the blue-inned superhero, who'd be summoned when The Planeteers, a group of multicultural teens who represented earth, fire, wind, water, and heart.
The studio is in talks for the rights to the 1990s cartoon series, and is eyeing Jono Matt and Scream Queens star Glen Powell to write the script.
If the deal is made, Jennifer Davisson Killoran and DiCaprio will produce the project via Appian Way, which signed a first-look deal with Paramount in March, along with Powell.
There's no word yet as to whether Powell, who is known for his acting work in such projects as FX series Scream Queens and Richard Linklater's most recent film Everybody Wants Some, will also star in the project.
